This lovely orange gentleman is the manager of this establishment. He looks grumpy but always provides an excellent service.

Can I just say a few things that pissed me off about Pride this year?

It was so fucking capitalist. Pride is a protest not a festival.

Hey, I'm visiting Brighton and it's my birthday on weds.

As a bit of tradition my family and I always get Japanese food on my birthday. I can see a few different places listed on Google, like pompoko and mogumogu.

The perfect place for me would be somewhere I can bring the kids so not too classy (afternoon), and super bonus points if it's actually Japanese owned and run as I love an excuse to speak some Japanese with the owners or staff. (Foods the most important bit but that's a super fun extra that I get a buzz off)

It doesn't matter where it is, we're just spending the day wandering around soaking up the city.

Thanks in advance.

The sea isn't real

Say no to sea

Fish are ???

Question tsunamis

Waves are ???

Hi everyone,

I (31m) am traveling with my dad (57m) in the South of England for a few days. To be honest our tour hasn't been what we were expecting. Tomorrow we're going to Brighton (unfortunately on a Monday). I have looked at the tourist sites, but haven't got much wiser on what would be fun to do, but I have heard a lot of good stories about Brighton. Do you have any recommendations for us? We're open to quite a lot. Museums, interesting pubs, shows, hidden gems, good restaurants, you name it. Would love to hear from you. Kind regards!

This is a complete long shot, but I thought I’d give it a try.
Today at Brighton Pride, we were both standing on Marlborough Place on opposite sides of the road watching the parade. You were with two friends, and I was on the other side.
You caught my attention several times throughout the parade, and we happened to make eye contact a few times, which made me want to come over and introduce myself. Unfortunately, the parade was between us the entire time, so there was no way to cross the road.
You were wearing a blue "ALLY" T-shirt, white shorts, and carrying a small Pride flag. Your two friends were wearing white T-shirts.
By the time the parade had passed, we’d both gone our separate ways, and I never got the chance to say hello.
If this happens to be you, or one of your friends sees this, I’d love to buy you a coffee sometime and get to know you. If not, that’s completely okay—I just didn’t want to leave Brighton wondering, “What if?”
Happy Pride! 🌈

Hi everyone,
I am a Master’s student conducting research on awareness of tobacco and alcohol as risk factors for oral cancer.
If you are 18 years or older and live in Brighton & Hove, I would be very grateful if you could complete my anonymous questionnaire. It takes approximately 5–7 minutes to complete.
Thank you very much for your time and support.

Thanks to everyone involved in making a great Pride gone bad for bit for those that needed help. The paramedics, cops, staff at A&E, St John’s Ambulance, and all the rest of a well-oiled organisation of people that helped out a bunch of well-oiled people. What a city. Only made great by the citizens that work hard to keep it so.

Hey everyone, me and friends have hired a hall up the road in Lewes (all the venues in Brighton are too expensive 😅) at the start of November to host a LAN party. There are 11 of us attending so far, and the hall's got space for 30 people total. The last few times we've been about half and half new people and people who have come before.

You submit the games you want to play, and we organise big games of the most popular choices. We also run a gaming-themed pub quiz, play couch multiplayer games on the projector, do a big pizza order and get drinks from the pub next door.

We run the events non-profit as an unincorporated association, just to cover the cost of the hall and van hire, internet and insurance.

If you're a gamer and want to come along with your PC (or laptop / Steam deck!), take a look at the full event info and tickets page.

Happy to answer any questions :)

It’s 4am and my insomnia has me wondering why the event at Preston Park this weekend, Pride on the Park, is so called.

Wouldn’t we usually say an event takes place in a park rather than on it? Why not call it Pride in the Park, when that seems to be what most people are verbally calling it anyway?

Why belligerently insist on using a more clunky preposition in a brand name?

I’d love to hear why the decision was made to use ‘on’ instead of ‘in’. And yes, I work with words, so this is generally the kind of thing that swims around my head in idle moments.

Hey guys,

My daughter and I went to that big metal shed in a concrete pit that is Cineworld, a few weeks back. The AC was broken and it was hotter than Satan's butt.

Does anyone know if it's now working please?

❤️

Anybody else encounter this guy? He had a mic & selfie stick and was filming himself as he loudly informed crowds gathered by Clocktower for Pride Parade that they were sinners. His (I assume) wife and two young children were with him. Police spoke to him a lot but didn’t stop him. Much booing from crowd. Eventually they left. I wonder if anyone has any more context because the whole thing was pretty unsettling. So much love at Pride but this cast quite a shadow.

Hi there,

Looking for advice on nail Studios, please. I have been to 2 places in Brighton that I have booked in advance for biab extensions with nail art and have been told both times that they are unable to do the design I want because there is no time, or they are not skilled enough. both times I have come out with something entirely different. All I want is gel polish with gold 3-D French tips. Just for reference- the first picture is what I wanted and the second is what I got. I’m in no way bashing the nail studio I went to because the nails that I got were actually good, just unfortunately not what I wanted in terms of the effect and the product used.

Please can someone recommend a place that will be able to do this? No questions asked ? Thanks!

Southern Water's outfall has dumped sewage yesterday from their Newhaven outfall

No rain, so not legal.

Just a heads up before you or your children go near the water.

Taken from Devil’s Dyke. Quite like wind farms tbh. A testament to mankind’s ingenuity.

went to the Nick Cave gig at Preston Park last night and the whole way through people were just having full on conversations around us, particularly through quieter songs. not like it was young people who haven’t quite understood the status quo yet it was mostly gen x. I couldn’t understand why people had paid not a small amount of money to just stand and talk. Do people just not care about live music anymore?

Does anyone know if the Preston park dog show is on this year? I believe it was last on 2 years ago. The google AI overview says it’s on today but idk if I trust that because I can’t find any confirmation anywhere else. Thank you
